What Did You Do To Your Car Today?

maillemaker · Oct 1, 2023

Pulled out one of my Glowshift gauges to return as not all the LED segments were lighting up properly.

Got my rocker panel hardware from LMR last week, so I re-attached the driver rocker panel that my butt snapped off while I was sitting on the door sill fixing the loose knee panel last week.

Washed 'er too.

I'm curious to hear what you think. I run MT SS E/T Streets now, but I have the vibration that they are plagued with (I'm going to have them rebalanced at the end of the season)
My next rear tire may very well be the R888R

My car vibrates so much idk if I’d even notice.

Sure, I’ll give an honest assessment of them when I get a chance to run them. Trading a guy my Forgestars for those Kansei wheels but I’m starting 7-10+ shifts Monday. Probably gonna be a bit lol

Me too!

Have got it from a seller on eBay US. It's the exact same one as the one already in the car, and eBay have a fit guarantee or your money back.

So I'm covered if it's wrong again...

Here’s to hopefully not needing the money back guarantee!

They hook like a mofo but I won't buy them again unless I hear they fixed the vibration/balancing issues.

I don’t drive my car enough on the road to care.

Installed seat track extenders under both seats.

For my 6'2" frame it is now a lot easier to get in and out of the car + the seating position further back is good.

Rear seat is now useless but I typically drive alone or with girlfriend.

Warp speed to work.. Got a funny message from a buddy too!

I’ve long considered the extensions, but at 5’10” I’m kind of on the cusp and I can still contort myself in & out well enough. Broken down body and joints considered. So, decided to pass on the seat extensions.
I did, however remove the back seats, belts, etc as a weight reduction measure and installed the Rear Seat Delete (RSD). Happy I did and would never use the back seat either! Hell, for that matter I may as well remove the passenger seat. Wife doesn’t like riding in lowered cars and my buddy’s are to weary of the power of the car!

Last night after work, broke down the driver's side of the '04 GT. New BMR springs should show up sometime today.

So apparently BOTH front springs were literally broken.

optionizerSS · Oct 4, 2023

Step-sons '99 GT were both broken in the same spot as yours

I snapped a rear spring on my old 97 GT. They were Energy Suspension springs. To this day, I swear they gave me the best ride compared to any other spring I've had. And I've had many.
